Background

Rangers are meant to protect and serve man and pokemon alike, averting disaster, helping those in need, using only the help of the wild pokemon of the area to make any area they inhabit safer for their presence.

Peter Cross has taken this lesson to heart. A recent, young graduate from the Ranger school in Prism town, he just barely passed the final written test and aced the practicals. Peter has, after all, known his share of hard work and strife. He and his sister Sabrina grew up as the children of their town's star ranger, who heroically sacrificed himself to save his children. The two Cross kids were taken in by various foster families in the mean time, until Peter chose to attend Ranger school on a small trust from his father.

Peter's first and current mission, assigned to him by professor Sequoia and the Prism town Ranger center, is to protect the group of trainers who set forth with pokedexes. To that end, he was given his first partner by the professor, a small Elekid, which he named Buzz.

Description

Peter dresses proudly in the usual garb of the Pokemon ranger. He is tall and solidly built, and carries himself everywhere with head held high, proud of his styler and uniform.

While he appears to have everything together, however, he isn't very well-formed in the head. He's passionate and dedicated to his mission and his role as a Ranger, but he isn't very smart or perceptive. Things go over his head easily, and he tends towards the naive. He wants to see the world in shades of black and white, and can sometimes make mistakes of judgement because of this.

When he battles, it's because he wants to get stronger, so he can help people. Any pokemon he means to capture are defeated and caught not with malice or avarice, but to prove his dedication to his cause. Ever since meeting Kobold in Cobalt city, he has been training his body as well as his ranger skills, and ever since he met a man on the road riding a Rhyhorn, he's been itching to get the hang of his own talent for riding pokemon.

Features

Befriend: Ranger Feature

Until this ally is attacked, severely distracted, or has helped the Ranger in a significant manner once it is under the Ranger’s control. You do not get a complete list of the Helpful’s attacks, and it cannot be taken from the area you found it in or it will run away. You may only give the Helpful title to one Pokemon at a time.

To make the wild a Companion you must sacrifice half an hour upon giving it the Companion title to bond with the wild. The Companion gains experience and levels exactly like a Captured pokemon, but cannot participate in official battles or contests (doing so is fraud). The pokemon cannot be returned to a poke ball and it costs 150 credits to heal at a pokemon center.
